Hello everyone, and welcome to the seventeenth episode of “Crafting with…Courtney!” I’m here to make crafting fun, easy, and good for you!

There’s nothing worse than being diseased and poisoned at the same time….trust me, it’s no fun! That’s why today’s item aims to prevent this from happening! You’ll feel better, and all it takes is a pouch full of leeches…

Today’s recipe is called the Pouch of Leeches, and is a Disease Immunity Necklace of Resistance (Poison) +5! This item offers a ton of benefit for a low cost, and has a low minimum level as well.

To make the Disease Immunity Necklace of Resistance (Poison) +5 you will need:

• A craftable Necklace
• A Disease Immunity Shard
• A Shard of Resistance (Poison) +5 (NOTE: This is listed under Poison Save +5 Shard in the shard creation devices.)

To make the Disease Immunity Shard you will need:

• The ability to make a level 16 Divine shard.
• 3 Greater Good Essences
• 12 Lesser Good Essences
• 4 Siberys Dragonshard Fragments
• 1 Deadly Feverblanches

To make the Shard of Resistance (Poison) +5 you will need:

• The ability to make a level 42 Arcane shard.
• 6 Greater Body Essences
• 32 Lesser Body Essences
• 9 Khyber Dragonshard Fragments

To make the Disease Immunity Shard of Resistance (Poison):

1. Deconstruct the necklace with a Dust of Disjunction to make it craftable in the Deconstruction Device.
2. Using the Shard Device for bound shards, combine 3 Greater Good Essences, 12 Lesser Good Essences, 4 Siberys Dragonshard Fragments and a Deadly Feverblanch to make a Shard of Disease Immunity.
3. Using the Shard Device for bound shards, combine 3 Greater Body Essences, 12 Lesser Body Essences and 4 Khyber Dragonshard Fragments to make a Shard of Resistance (Poison) [+5].
4. Transfer the necklace and the shards to the character that will be using the necklace.
5. Using the Item Creation Device, combine the Shard of Disease Immunity with the necklace to make a Disease Immunity Necklace.
6. Finally, combine the Shard of Resistance (Poison) [+5] with the necklace to make a Disease Immunity Necklace of Poison Save +5.

That’s it! Although a necklace pouch full of leeches sounds a bit icky, it’s definitely better than having your flesh rotting away while your innards are being destroyed from within…
